Setup:
Turnigy 2204-14t motor, Turnigy plush 10a esc GWS 8x6 prop HXT900 servo's Rhino 3s 360mah batteries. Total flying weight 188grams, total cost... less than $100AUS! flight times are usually 7-8 minutes 3D flight hovers on about one third throttle.
Video taken with I-phone 3GS... not bad aye!
@Kpilot786457 Awesome mate, Bigger props always make 3D much easier! Stay tuned for an Sbach 342, i've been scratch building one i hope to have finished soon!

@scultura44 Turns out the reason I couldn't hover mine was because the prop was way too small, 8 iunches but it needed 9 inches. Now with 9 inch, hovering is SO easy!

@Kpilot786457 just move your battery or reciever fwd in small increments toward the propeller until it becomes more stable.

@scultura44 so... how is it easiest to do this? fwd CG?
Kpilot786457 9 months ago
@Kpilot786457 No not tail heavy at all. Tail heavy planes are harder to control in tourque roll. It is perfect cg if not slightly fwd.

@scultura44 tail heavy is yours?

@Kpilot786457 Thanks mate. Have you checked your CG? That has alot to do with it, BUT yes i have had a lot of practice. The trick is to react before the plane does and use small movements only.
